There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, no matter how warm and fuzzy the marketing team is able to make you feel.

According to this chart... checks notes China bad.
Data is always beautiful if you cherry pick the data you want.
This is like judging how beautiful someone is by only looking at their hands.
Why the arbitrary ethiscore classification (25% for average and 60% for good? Do they just want Apple to not be red?
How is Google Pixel that low? They have good software support and support third party roms like GraphineOS better than nearly any other manufacturer.
Software support doesn't excuses oor worker treatment
Any chart with this clear of a result is suspect.
Eh, if you leave out Fairphone the scoring range is realistic.
And Fairphone is specifically tailored to reach the highest realistically possible ethics standards. No wonder they crush this. The downside is that their phones are quite expensive relative to phones of comparable power.
Pixel being that low with long term software support seems whack as fuck.
I mean 4/6 of the categories have very little to do with how good a phone is.
Worthless table, biased as fuck.
Who tf is Crosscall
They make ruggedized phones. I don't think they make normal ones.
full score on tech sustainability for the company that removed the headphone jack at the same they they releases Bluetooth headphones while their earlier models still can't call properly! Whoohoo
Dang, wish I had enough money to afford an ethical phone =(
Good news, you (probably) can! Find a flagship phone you like from a year to three ago, and go buy a gently used one. Buying things used is almost always better for the environment than buying them new.
So far I can't find anything that fits me better than a CMF Nothing Phone.
$240.
Fairly powerful hardware for that price range.
Apparently capable of running e/OS
A shape that has actual flat, easily gripable edges, as opposed to seemingly everything else that is completely rounded.
(I've got a serious wrist/hand injury to my dominant hand, and that makes this last one pretty important)
Is there anything comparable for all or most of those features, in that price range, capable of being either de googled android, or running an open source and/or privacy oriented os?
I've attempted to look for such a phone, and basically everything is either double or more the cost.
I wish I could pay more to make a phone I am buying more ethical.
Yeah, yeah, the Fairphone is very fair until you're forced to use their software because they're unable to collaborate with GrapheneOS because they leak keys, all their bootloader security is bullshit and they don't care about making it right.
It's true that there are issues preventing GrapheneOS from running on FairPhones, but you're not forced to use the standard OS: you can install other ROMs on FairPhone like LineageOS, CalyxOS, iodéOS, /e/
They're actively working with Murena to make sure /e/ works well, and you can even buy Fairphones with /e/ out of the box.
Who leaks keys? Can you provide me some reading material?
I found this on their forums https://forum.fairphone.com/t/bootloader-avb-keys-used-in-roms-for-fairphone-3-4/83448/23?page=2
Fuck. These days you can't have nothing without Wagmi getting all up in your business!
I've been using a shiftphone for the last ~5 years. I wonder where they would land on the ranking. They should als do fairly well.
Oh they look cool!
